Your cart is empty.Perfect for the hobbyist and the serious kaleidoscope maker alike! This economical aluminized mirror is used in most of Clarity’s kaleidoscope kits and refills, and is perfect for most kaleidoscope projects. Because the mirror coating is on the front surface, your kaleidoscopic images will be clear with no ghost images or blurring. This is highly reflective and comes in 6″ x 8″ sheets that are .048 inches thick and have a removable plastic lamination to protect the mirror coating. Using a carbide cutter, it can be cut into whatever sizes your kaleidoscope designs require. (some sheets will have small blank area clip marks on the edges due to manufacturing process, extra 1/4" length given as compensation - thank you).

Ive been making kaleidoscope mirrors for a while. These are not good. The mirror itself was not square. The mirror surface oxidized during assembly. The corners were chipped and the little "blemish" is from the mirroring process where the machine grips the glass. These are poor cut-offs from b-grade quality mirror. Not for professionals.

The product contains a protective film as shown in the product description. That film was scratched as shown in my picture. Peeling the film revealed no scratches on the mirror. However, the film didn't reach all the way to the edge. So a small area along that edge was unprotected. I didn't notice any issues there, but I didn't look closely because the mirror will suit my needs even if there are issues there. One additional point, illustrated by my second picture is that the reflective material is missing from a small portion of the mirror. These two issues are the only reason I am not giving the product 5 stars.

I have it angled so that the projector sitting on my desk is now viewable on the ceiling. Clear image. Bounces off with no ghosting.Seriously get this if you need a cheap solution for this task.

If you need a front surface mirror for your project, this is a good place to look. Great service and quick turn around.

There is a gap when you put a fingernail against the mirror. I would return but since the mirror is very thin the small gap is not going to affect my project.

The advantage to a first surface mirror like this over a regular mirror is you won't get any ghosting because of light refraction. I have this mirror propped up in front of our video projector so we can watch TV and videos on our ceiling above our bed. Not all projectors can be mounted vertically for on-ceiling projection, so this gives us so much flexibility. The projected image looks skewed in my photo, but that's because I used and ultra wide-angle lens to capture everything in the single frame. Manual keystone adjustments are minimal if you get the mirror angle just right.

Bubble wrap + cardboard inside of a box with packing peanuts, enough wiggle that the corner was cracked upon arrival.Enough of it was unbroken for my intended purpose, but buyer beware.Otherwise, is first surface as advertised and free of scratches/defects. 5/5 if unbroken.
